Chapter 3- Awakening
Gwen- (She runs over to the hospital bed) Ethan!
Ethan- Who are you?
Gwen- You're kidding me right? Hunny, it's me, your fiancé Gwen
Ivy- Ethan, stop playing games with us now. We didn't even think you would survive and you don't need to fool around with us….
Ethan- Who are you? Is my name Ethan?
Gwen- Dr. Russell, what's wrong with Ethan?
Eve- It seems that because of the blow to Ethan's head…he's suffering brain damage, which is causing amnesia…
Ivy- It's only… temporary amnesia… right?
Eve- It's too early to say…we would have to run tests and it would be a long process but in the meantime, all we can do is to try to familiarize Ethan with surroundings and people close to him
Gwen- So you're telling me because of Theresa, my fiancé may never remember any of us again!
Theresa- For the last time Gwen, I did not cause this accident!
Ethan- Theresa?
Gwen- What did you say Ethan?
Ethan- Theresa…I hear her… where is she?
Theresa- Ethan, you remember me? (She walks up to the hospital bed)
Ethan- Of course I do, how could I forget about the love of my life?
Gwen- Ethan, dear, you may not remember at the moment but we are getting married and I'm pretty sure that would be because you love me
Ethan- No, that's not possible. I love Theresa, she would be the one I would marry
(Theresa grins at Gwen)
Gwen- You wipe that smirk off your face right now you bitch! I don't know how you did this but you made it so Ethan would forget all about us and only remember you, thinking that you are the one he loves!
Theresa- No Gwen, I didn't do a thing this time so maybe you will accept that fate brought us together
Gwen- (Screams) If this damn fate crap was true then YOU would be the one wearing this right now Theresa! (She holds up her engagement ring)
Eve- Gwen please! Ethan just woke up and you're bombarding him with such hate and anger. The best thing would be for you to just cool down. There is no way that Theresa could have made Ethan's memories as they are now, remembering only her
Gwen- With her, anything is possible
Eve- Gwen! I think it's best for everyone to just go home for the night and Ethan can come as well if he is up to it tomorrow morning
(They all exit Ethan's hospital room)
Theresa- (Talking to herself) I'll be back to you tonight Ethan, I promise I'll find a way
(Later late in the night…)
(Theresa sneaks into Ethan's room)
Theresa- Look at him…. Sleeping so peacefully… he's so beautiful….
Ethan- (Wakes up) The..res..a? What are you doing here? I thought that you went home?
Theresa- I did, but I just had to see you once more tonight…Oh Ethan… I… never could have imagined that any of this would happen…. I…we thought that we were going to lose you and here you are…. Just as illustrious as ever…
Ethan- Can I ask you a question?
Theresa- Of course Ethan
Ethan- What exactly… happened to me?
Theresa- Well, you and I were talking and I got upset at you and then you followed me and saved my life by pushing me out of the way from a being hit by a car…. but you were the one who got hit because you risked your life…for mine
Ethan- Why were you upset at me? I love you and I don't see why we would be upset at each other
Theresa- I was upset because you were about to marry Gwen and you told me that you still loved me but we could never be together
Ethan- Gwen…. Is that the blonde haired woman that was yelling at you earlier?
Theresa- Yes, that's Gwen….don't want to bring up that situation again… Ethan, one of the reasons I came by was because Dr. Russell had asked us to try to familiarize you with things, so I brought you a song to listen to…it was one of your… our favorites that I used to play and sing when I cleaned the mansion… and you heard me playing it one day and then I told you it was a song about… about how I felt about you
Incomplete
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no
place left to go
Without you within me I can find no rest
Where
I'm going is anybody's guess
I tried to go on like I never
knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray, for
this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is
incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am
swimming in an ocean all alone
baby , my baby
It's written on
your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I tried
to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half
asleep
I pray, for this heart to be unbroken
But without you
all I'm going to be is incomplete
I don't mean to drag it
on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't want to make you face
this world alone
I want to let you go (alone)
I tried to go
on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I
pray, for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm
going to be is incomplete
Incomplete
Ethan- Theresa, why would that song be about me? You're not incomplete… I love you and you love me right?
Theresa- Of course I do Ethan!
Ethan- Then I don't see what the problem is, that Gwen girl isn't as important as she thinks she is…. I want YOU Theresa
(They kiss)
Theresa- (Talking to herself in her head) As good as this seems, once Ethan regains his memories… he will remember he loves Gwen…. But what if these are his true feelings? He admitted to me that he loved me before the accident… all I can really do now is to be thankful and take advantage of the situation
